When Mu Hanyan returned to the City Lord's Mansion, several Mu family disciples at the gate saw him and immediately smiled mockingly. As soon as Mu Hanyan entered the City Lord's Mansion, he could hear the whispers of those people behind him. He didn't need to think about it, and he knew what they were talking about. They were simply mocking him for overestimating his own abilities and wanting to compete with Mu Feng.
"I've disliked him for a long time. He always acts recklessly because he has a father who is the city lord. This time, Brother Mu Feng is finally going to teach him a lesson."
"That's right! Who can he blame for his own death? He agreed to spar with Brother Mu Feng himself. Even if he gets beaten to a pulp by Brother Mu Feng this time, he deserves it."
"He asked for it. His father, the city lord, can't blame anyone else, hahahaha!"
…
Hearing the unbridled laughter behind her, Mu Hanyan curled her lips into a sneer. Who knew who would be beaten to a pulp by then?
When Mu Hanyan returned to her room, she found someone already waiting there.
It was her father, Mu Ruian.
When Mu Ruian saw Mu Hanyan coming back, his face turned cold and he said calmly, "I heard that you accepted Mu Feng's challenge?"
"Yes." Mu Hanyan looked at her father whom she hadn't seen for a long time, feeling a complicated feeling in her heart. Why couldn't she see the worry that flashed across her father's eyes in her previous life?
"This is for you." Mu Ruian's face was expressionless, and his tone was also indifferent, cold to the extreme.
Mu Hanyan was stunned, then took it. After taking a closer look at the object in her hand, she felt a warm feeling in her heart, a sore nose, and tears nearly flowed again. It was the Fa Mai Xi Sui Dan! More accurately, it should be called the Xi Sui Dan. While it wasn't as good as the legendary Fa Mai Xi Sui Dan, its efficacy was still extraordinary. It had similar effects to the real Fa Mai Xi Sui Dan, though the effect was much smaller. Therefore, people also called it the Fa Mai Xi Sui Dan or the Small Fa Mai Xi Sui Dan.
"Father, this thing is too valuable. I..." Mu Hanyan naturally knew how precious it was to the family. All the disciples of their generation, including Mu Feng and Mu Cheng, were eyeing this Meridian Cleansing Pill! And now, Mu Ruian, despite the pressure, had given such a precious pill to her, a playboy everyone considered a waste. It was obvious that everyone would think it was a waste, and it would inevitably cause considerable trouble for her father.
"I just don't want you to lose too badly and embarrass me!" Mu Ruian rudely interrupted Mu Hanyan, stood up quickly, and walked out without even looking at Mu Hanyan.
Mu Hanyan looked at her father's back, tears silently sliding down her cheeks.
Why, why hadn't she noticed the deep love hidden beneath her father's cold behavior in her previous life? She had actually been blaming and annoyed with him. Mu Hanyan was deeply immersed in self-blame and guilt, tears streaming down her face.
Unexpectedly, her actions were seen by Mu Ruian, who was hiding outside. Of course, Mu Ruian thought she was sad about her father's indifference to her.
Seeing his daughter crying like that, Mu Ruian felt like he was being scratched by a cat. He wanted to slap himself twice. Why did he speak so harshly just now? He should have been more gentle.
At this moment, a slender hand reached out, pulled his ear, and dragged him out of the yard.
After leaving the yard, Mu Ruian bared his teeth and said, "Madam, please let go! It would be embarrassing if someone saw us! I am the city lord after all. Can you please give me a little face?"
"Hmph!" The owner of this delicate hand was, of course, Yue Fanling. She withdrew her hand and glared at Mu Ruian. This glare was full of charm, and Mu Ruian felt itchy inside.
